Ι Wаlk tһе Lіnе 1970 Frаnkеnһеіmеr


This ironically-titled tale of an impeccably righteous man's seduction by a jailbait temptress can be enjoyed straight or as a send-up-- the white-trash melodrama is over-the-top, but ever so straightfaced. The upright, uptight sheriff is played by the notoriously wooden Gregory Peck, and Tuesday Weld embodies the wiggly, giggly minx as only she can-- the sex scenes between them are laugh-out-loud, but can also make your skin crawl. Peck lives in terror of being caught, Weld and her cartoonish parody of a toothless goober-grubbin sister-lovin hillbilly-moonshiner family keep a wary eye on the tense situation caused by the arrival of a "government man" on the scene, and the film's climax is at once harrowing and matter-of-fact. This outré confection is not, of course, to be confused with the 2005 biopic about Johnny Cash, though he does supply songs for the soundtrack.
